Dedicated to the trio with piano, this concert
invites the discovery of three moments
in French musical Romanticism. A little
appreciated title among the violinist Lalo’s
work, the Trio No. 1 was from then on to reveal
the qualities of the composer’s writing for the
two instruments that took a predominant
place in his catalogue. Clearly indebted to
the instruction of his teacher, César Franck,
the piece by Ernest Chausson already proves
his personal genius. Finally, the piece by Lili
Boulanger is doubly crepuscular: the work of
a young composer just awarded the prix de
Rome, this page seems also to herald, with its
melancholy, the premature death of the writer.
